SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) A contributing member of the Colorado Rockies during their best seasons a decade ago, Chris Iannetta rejoined them with a reprise in mind.

Iannetta was a second-year reserve when the Rockies made their only World Series appearance in 2007 and was the starting catcher for a Colorado team that won a franchise-record 92 games in 2009.

When the Rockies sought a veteran to help guide their young pitching staff this season, Iannetta was more than ready to return to the team that dealt him to the Los Angeles Angels after the 2011 season.
